EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

〈♫〉 WHy are my Eyes ſtill Flow—ing? Why does my heart thus trembling move? 〈♫〉 Why do I ſigh when goe—ing? To ſee the Darling Saint I Love: 〈♫〉 Ah! ſhe's my Heaven, and in her Eyes, The Dei—ty, There is no Life 〈♫〉 Like what ſhe can give, Nor any Death like taking my Leave.

I. Tell me no more of Glo—ry, to Courts Ambition i've reſign'd, But tell a long long Sto—ry, of Celia's ſhape her face and mind: Speak too of Raptures that will Life deſtroy, to En—joy, Had I a Diadem Scepter and Ball, For that dear minute i'de part with them all. II. Why am I not injoy—ing my ſelf, delighting in thy Arms? My painful Love deſtroy—ing, with killing pleaſures from thy Charms: Come, come dear Celia, now let Storms be gone, and o—ver-blown; There's no delight like thy tranſporting Love, No joy below, what e're there's above. IV. Why does my heart thus grieve —me, as I lye panting on my Bed? Why does my hopes deceive —me, when cruel Fates pronounce me dead? Speak, ſpeak dear Saint, and by thoſe conq'ring eyes that—ſurprize: Give, give me favour in thy ſight again, Or kill me quite to eaſe my pain. V. Her ANSWER. HOw can I ſeek to co—ver a flaming heart o'rewhelm'd with grief? See, ſee a Conſtant Lo—ver, thus fainting, plead for ſome Relief! No, no, Aminta, ceaſe now to implore, ſigh—no more: Had I ten thouſand hearts in my Breaſt, I'de part with all to give my Love reſt. VI. Why does Aminta ſigh—ing, think I will Coyly Love deface? But can there be deny—ing, to ſuch a Perſon, ſuch a Grace? Ah! ſuch becoming-Boldneſs too is found, to—be Crown'd, That no fair Nymph that lives upon the Plain, Can have a heart to give my Dear pain. VII. Amint.] Who can expreſs the joy—ing, that my poor heart doth leaping find? Fly hence all heart-annoy—ing, and fatal grief, for Celia's kind: Come then dear Celia, let us now injoy, Cael.] Ay, dear—est Ay; While we have Breath let Mortals wonder this, Envy they may, but not ſpoyl our Bliſs.
